THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Presidential Canvass.

CHICAGO, June At has been rumored
for some time that Chauncey M. Depew in
tended to speak in some of the large cities
of England during his contemplated visit 10
that country in advocacy of home rule for
Ireland. Mr.. Depew, who is now here, de-
nies the rumor, and remarked: "Any prom
inent American who undertook tc champion
either side of the home rule question before
British audiences would not only have n
very unpleasant time, but would be certain
to inlure the cause he was working for. The
English are singularly jealous regarding the
affalrs OF their ownscountry." Referring to
the national political situation Mr.. Depew
said: The elements which will determine
the next Presidential canvas are the labor
question and the Irish vote. The labor ques-
tion' however, will not have much influence
unless the labor people have separate ticket.
But II Henry George, DR.. McGlynn and the
other labor leaders take that opportunity to
test the strength of the movement and bring

Is the liquor question. / don't believe it can

cHIcAco's BIG WHEAT DEAL.
The Clique Now Hold About All the
Grain There Is In the City.

CHICAGO, June 2.-It is estimated that the
houses engineering the big wneat deal did
not receive more than one-eight of the grain
due them yesterday. They took all that was
offered them during the delivery hour yester-
day morning. About 2.5C0000 bushels of
wheat were going around on the floor Ar
mour and the Alberton Packing Company
delivered the biggest blocks The clique
houses took in yesterday about 1,5OO0C0
bushels in large blocks to avoid the rush
yesterday, so that they hold practically all
the wheat here.
The prospect is that the Northwestern
roadroads will agree to advance their foreign
freight rates on grain between Minneapolis
and Chicago to 10 cents per hundred from u
cents. This will mean an advance in the
cost OF transporting bushel Of wheat from
A to cents, and would make vase differ
ence to the shorts. who had wheat in the
Northwest or could buy it up there. But the
refusal of the Northwestern and st. Paul
roads to accept more wheat for Chicago Just
now on the plea of want of storage Is even
more perplexing. 1t is pretty good evidence
that the wheat clique has as much influence
with railroads as the wheat shorts. The
prevalence of extraordinarily low rates to
Chicago will be thing of the past very soon

HANLAN SHOULD HAVE WON.
Ten Eyck Thinks the ex-champIon
Took the Wrong Boat.

WORCESTER, June 2.-Jim Ten Eyek, the
lucky oarsman of the lake, in an interview
said Hanlan should have won the race with
Gaudaur. 1t all came of Hanlan's over-eon-
fdence. He had two boats here, and one
was for rough water rowing, and it was in
this that he had all his practice and did his
best work. Ten Eyck advised him to take it
with him as being the most reliable should
he happen to have rough water. 1t now APP
pears that Ten Eyck's caution was right
after all. Lalng will not row any more races
but will return TO his trade of machinist.
His defeat by Ten Eyck was enough for
MIN, as he felt that he ought to have wen.
As he was in the best condition he ever
rowed in, he don't know where to place the
fault of his defeat Bubear has written that
he will row Ten Eyck here over the three
mile course on June 10. Ten Eyck has
nwonderfully in public favor since his
victory on Memorial Day.
